We all have worries and strife but we should look for the bare necessities the simple bare necessities of life.

And don't spend your time lookin' aroundFor something you want that can't be foundWhen you find out you can live without itAnd go along not thinkin' about itI'll tell you something true

The bare necessities of life will come to you

This part of the song is very interesting - we spend a lot of time looking around for something that can't be found, but do we stop when we realise that we can go on with life without it. Very rarely we do - but the song goes on to say that if we go on not thinking about it we wont really miss it and the bare necessities of life will come to you. It is the bare necessities of life that are important.
